N-glycans of human Fcγ receptor III (FcγR III) are believed to be involved in the interaction with complement receptor type 3 (CR3) (Sehgal et al. [1993] J. Immunol., 150, 4571–4580). Recombinant human soluble FcγRIII (rhsFcγRIII), which is produced in baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells, has been shown to interact with CR3 in a manner similar to native FcγRIII. We elucidated the N-glycosylation pr...

Abstract Background Irinotecan (IRI) and oxaliplatin (Ox) are standard therapeutic agents of the first-line treatments for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Previous meta-analyses randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that treatment with Ox-based compared IRI-based regimens was associated better overall survival (OS). However, these reports did not include molecular targeting take metho...

The microbiological characterization of lactobacilli is historically well developed, but the genomic analysis is recent. Because of the widespread use of Lactobacillus helveticus in cheese technology, information concerning the heterogeneity in this species is accumulating rapidly. Recently, the genome of five L. helveticus strains was sequenced to completion and compared with other genomically...

INTRODUCTION To estimate the prevalence of use of different sources of contraceptive supplies in Britain and its variation by key demographic and behavioural characteristics. METHODS Cross-sectional probability sample survey of women and men aged 16-74 years, resident in Britain, interviewed between 2010 and 2012. Analyses reported here were of 4571 women and 3142 men aged 16-44 years who rep...

We present a reliable method to define the interfacial particles for determining the crystal-melt interface position, which is the key step for the crystal-melt interfacial free energy calculations using capillary wave approach. Using this method, we have calculated the free energies gamma of the fcc crystal-melt interfaces for the hard-sphere system as a function of crystal orientations by exa...
